Stethoscope in the ER


No matter the chaos,

Plug your ears to hear not even silence

But to listen to life’s worth!


People come to this – a terminal

perhaps awakening only to sleep;

Or come from certain death,

slowly awakening to light.


The heart needs a listener

whenever I chose to be deaf;

turn into my tachycardic dreams so I could hear.


For in waking to the rhythm of my own beat,

I can no longer listen;

I have MY illusions I can always count on.


Listen… Listen… Listen though,

We are all in a terminal--

Always coming from an abyss,

Forever moving into the unknown.
